School Librarian Name Change

School Librarians are now back to their original name: School Librarians. Recent students and survey have found that the general public is confused by media specialist and teacher-librarian. The American Association of School Librarians approved changing the name to School Librarians officially in all future publications.

When I think about the other teachers within my building all of them have “teacher in their title”- Art Teacher, Phys Ed. Teacher, Music Teacher. Since we do so much teaching in a day I think that Library Teacher is the best way to describe what we do. Check out the article:http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA6715763.html
